Service tax on geological survey work by govt of india

If this is with connection to Geological Survey of deposits of mineral, oil and gas then it  is applicable w.e.f. 10.09.2004, therefore they can't charge service tax on the services provided prior to 10.09.2004. 

Secondly, in such cases , supplimentary bills have to be raised by the service provider and if the deparment has issued a Show Cause Notice alleging short levy or non levy of service tax by reason of fraud etc. then cenvat credit is not allowed to the recipient otherwise it is allowed.

Hope the matter is clear.

Thanks
